This New Treasure Cove Quilt Pattern is a 64x84 twin size quilt. It is made with 6 individual blocks characters: Crab, hammerhead shark, Big Shark, pirates, seaturtle and shark. It was so fun to put these pirates and sharks together.
If you are looking for something a little different many of these are also single patterns in my traditional crib and lap sizes.
This pattern is for intermediate Quilters. You should have some sewing experience. If you can use a rotary cutter, and sew a straight 1/4 inch seam you can put this quilt together.
The process looks something like this:
Step 1: The pattern uses charts to explain how many strips to cut in each color for all 6 blocks. I suggest using a rotary cutter and mat.
Step 2: A set of charts for each block, giving piece lengths that will be alphabetically labeled and set aside. These pieces will be cross cut from the strips from step 1.
Step 3: Sew the block together row by row following a large color picture that show each piece with its letter designation.
The shaping is done with 2 to 3 sizes of half square triangles. They are cut as squares in the step 2, then marked with a sew line corner to corner to be placed on top of a larger piece or square of the same size. Then sewn, trimmed, and flipped. See YouTube videos for further explanation, search Counted Quilts.
The pattern also includes sashing, basic quilting, and binding instructions.
